US EditionThousands Remember Boy Who Died After Transplant Error
The donor heart froze due to improper cooling, causing organ failure that led to Domenico's death after nearly two months on life support, prosecutors said.
- Domenico's funeral in Nola gathered several thousand mourners, and his small coffin was laid out in the cathedral as Italy said goodbye to the two-year-old boy who died last month in Naples.
- The toddler received a donor heart in late December that never functioned after dry ice contact during transport instead of conventional ice.
- Doctors in Naples proceeded with the transplant despite the organ's condition, and attempts were reportedly made to thaw it using hot water; life-support machines kept Domenico alive for almost two months, causing severe organ damage.
- Prosecutors have opened investigations into doctors and paramedics in Naples and Bolzano, the operating doctor has been suspended, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attended the service while an interviewed doctor described himself as ' "victim," earlier this week.
- Hundreds of posters and closed shops marked the town of about 35,000 during an official mourning day, as Italy continues to mourn Domenico's death after a transplant error.
